Select Materials to Release

Form ID: (AM300020)

After selecting the desired production orders, the wizard will then calculate a list of materials required by the selected production orders, showing the quantity on hand for those inventory items. You have the ability to change the quantity of the material that you want to release. The following rules are used to select materials:

If a specific warehouse and location are specified on the Production Details, only that warehouse and location are considered.
If condition 1 is not met, then the locations are selected using the rules described in Production Processing: Selection of Warehouse Locations.
If there is insufficient inventory for condition #2, it will select additional qualifying locations with inventory on hand.
By-products are always included as long as they are not set for backflush.

Tip: The process excludes items that are set to backflush. The process does not exclude items where purchase receipts are tied to production orders, you should use the Unreleased Material Allocations (AM305500) form first.

After selecting the materials you wish to issue, the created materials batch is displayed where you can make further adjustments, delete lines from the table, or even delete the entire batch.

Table 2. Materials Table
This form is displayed as a result of processing the selected production orders. This are the open material requirements for the production orders you selected. The system will not display a material line if its Available Qty and Available Qty for Project values are 0 or negative or if the production order is integrated with a project and the line's Available Qty for Project value is 0 or negative.

The table toolbar includes only standard buttons. For the list of standard buttons, see Table Toolbar.
Column	Description
Selected	Select this check box to have this material requirement returned to the Materials (AM300000) form as an issue.
Inventory ID	The inventory ID of the material to be issued.
Subitem	This column is visible only if the Inventory Subitems feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. Important: The Inventory Subitems check box has been removed from the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form because the functionality associated with the Inventory Subitems feature will be phased out. If you have this feature enabled in your system, the associated functionality remains available. To disable the feature, contact your MYOB support provider.
Required Qty	The process defaulted the quantity to the remaining quantity required of this materials from the production order. You can change this quantity
Release Qty	The quantity of the released material. The release quantity equals the smaller of the two values—either the available quantity or the required quantity. If the production order is integrated with a project (that is, if the Update Project check box is selected in the Project section of the References tab of the Production Order Maintenance form), this quantity is calculated as follows: If Required Qty exceeds or is the same as Available Qty for Project, then Release Qty is the same as Available Qty for Project. If Required Qty is less than Available Qty for Project, then Release Qty is the same as Required Qty.
UOM	The unit of measure specified on the production order details.
Available Qty	This is the running total of the quantity available based on the sequence of production orders from the first step.
Available Qty for Project	If the production order is integrated with a project (that is, if the Update Project check box is selected in the Project section of the References tab of the Production Order Maintenance form), this column holds the available quantity of project-specific inventory or project inventory tracked by location related to the project associated with the production order; otherwise, the column is empty. If the Track by Location inventory tracking option is selected in the Inventory Tracking box on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form, the calculation depends on whether a warehouse location is specified for the material in the production order details: If no warehouse location is specified, this quantity is the sum of Qty Hard Available values across all warehouse locations that have the Production Allowed check box selected on the Locations tab of the Warehouses (IN204000) form and share the same combination of project and project task that is specified for the production order. If a warehouse location is specified, this quantity equals the Qty Hard Available value of the warehouse location if it shares the same combination of project and project task that is specified for the production order. If the Track by Project Quantity or Track by Project Quantity and Cost inventory tracking option is selected in the Inventory Tracking box on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form, the calculation also depends on the value specified for the stock item in the Default Inventory Source for Projects box on the Inventory Planning tab on the Stock Items (IN202500) form. If Free Stock is selected in the box, this quantity is calculated as follows: If no warehouse location is specified, this is the total quantity of the item that is hard available in all locations in the warehouse in which the Production Allowed check box is selected on the Warehouses (IN204000) form. If a warehouse location is specified, this quantity is the total quantity of the item that is hard available in this warehouse location. If Project Stock is selected in the box, this quantity is the sum of all item quantities associated with the same combination of project and project task that is specified for the production order.
Warehouse	This is the warehouse from which this material will be issued. If not specified on the production order details, the warehouse from the assembly is used.
Location	The location specified on the production order details. If blank, then the location will be determined when the materials batch is created.
Production Nbr.	The production order requiring this material.
Operation ID	The operation on the production order requiring this material.
By-Product	The by-product that will be received into inventory.
Project	The project associated with the material requirement. Project costs will be affected by the resulting transaction if the production order is integrated with the project (that is, if the Update Project check box is selected in the Project section of the References tab of the Production Order Maintenance form). This column appears only if the Projects feature group is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Project Task	The project task associated with the material requirement. This column appears only if the Projects feature group is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Cost Code	The cost code associated with the material requirement. This column appears only if the Cost Codes feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
